You can set thePSLTSCALE system variable to maintain the same linetype
scaling for objects displayed at different zoom factors in a layout and in a
layout viewport. For example, with PSLTSCALE set to 1 (default), set the current
linetype to dashed, and then draw a line in a paper space layout. In the layout,
create a viewport with a zoom factor of 1x, make that layout viewport current,
and then draw a line using the same dashed linetype. The dashed lines should
appear to be the same. If you change the viewport zoom factor to 2x, the
linetype scaling for the dashed line in the layout and the dashed line in the
layout viewport will be the same, regardless of the difference in the zoom
factor.
With PSLTSCALE turned on, you can still control the dash lengths with
LTSCALE andCELTSCALE. In the following illustration, the pattern of the
linetypes in the drawing on the left has been scaled to be the same regardless
of the scale of the view. In the drawing on the right, the scale of the linetypes
matches the scale of each view.
